Has a Time Arrived of Witnessing an Emergence of a 'Belt of Violence' in Africa?

Posted by HCN on Wednesday, September 25, 2013 Under: Original story post and English
In the aftermath of the siege in Kenya yesterday, presented is whether the world is witnessing a 'belt of violence', a zone, a geographical area, that can be circumscribed, meaning to draw a circle around, in Africa?

The region of his belt is in the sub-Saharan region spanning from Somalia to Nigeria.

Here are some of the crises in the region so far this year that have occurred and, or currently exist:
  • The siege of the Westgate Mall in Kenya
  • A group having to do with Mogadishu in Somalia is reported to be involved with the responsiblity of the Westgate mall siege
  • A massacre in Nigeria in the last couple of weeks
  • The Cameroon has been affected by the tension in the regions directly to the east of the country
  • The violence in Rwanda
In pictures, the geographic belt area is circumscribed in purple burgundy:

Burma/Myanmar Crisis Corner

Update August 1, 2022
According to https://www.irrawaddy.com/news/burma/myanmar-junta-extends-state-of-emergency.html, Hliang set before the body a proposal of allowing him to serve 6 more months, whereat word has arrived in the press that a 'State of Emergency' has been extended 6 more months. HCN comment, it may be clear that a 'State of Emergency' in their meaning might not be exactly the same as it is in the US. Perhaps English descriptive term State of Emergency in the context of the Burma/Myanmar crisis is a translation of something.

Update April 21, 2022
Reports of riot at detention center in what appears to be Kedah State, Malaysia with past several days; 6 fatalities in aftermath; those fleeing Myanmar, over 300 're-arrests'. Ramifications of power overturn is how wide?

Update August 4, 2021: US State Dept slated to talk with NUG
Update June 19, 2021: Looks like Rohingya taking the brunt, no matter which way the developments go- story here https://www.hcrestnews.com/intercontinental-news/denialed-undeniable-rohingya-have-been-facing-brunt-of-oppression-no-matter-what-the-turn-of-events. Village burned to the ground, Kin Ma, June 17th, 2021, elderly dead in the process- elderly victims, plus corpses coming back without organs, equals what, not a tone that says perpetrators deep, perhaps just simply evil. May 26, 2021: An American journalist is detained; officials have died in custody. Pictures of armed soldiers in camouflage have been released, wearing white face masks (presumably due to COVID-19).. not to be disrespectful in asking, but why undermine the entire camouflage with white mask?, is a question that presents, when assessing the situation
Update May 10, 2021: Thermal/pyro methodologies of opposition suppression being used extensively. See PDF translated page of BBC article citing those activities at Attacks in Burma-Myanmar (italic click link) [copyright waiver request- time of essence]. Satellite usage is being suppressed in the region as well, so there is a strong chance that not every event is being recorded and broadcast for the world to quickly access and view through media.
Update Sunday May 9, 2021: NUG poised to set up a people's defense force; 8 protestors reported killed when fired on by security forces on Sunday May 2, 2021 thereabout, in Kyaukme, Shan State. Those events post April ASEAN meeting [..arriving classic off the airplane on red carpet, clasped hands, modern day dress suit considered Western; 3 finger wave, about as ancient...
